So, #Threads and #TruthSocial are gonna federate now, right?
@downey As Truth Social was originally built on stolen Mastodon code, it's probably technically possible.
@FediThing Stolen?
Truth Social used Mastodon's code without crediting it, whilst simultaneously claiming it was their code and claiming copyright on it:

@downey What was the saying, "I don't like what they're doing, but I'll still defend their right to run Free Software for any purpose"?
(As long as they stay off my network…)
@downey@floss.social doubtful. pretty sure that, despite both of them running on code that can support federation, neither Gab nor Truth Social will ever federate
(Gab did federate in the past, though. it was the first big fediblock)
